Yes, I see the problem. The autocompletion feature is nice. I think the answer 
would be to maybe have this....

If the file directory window gets clicked on, the text field dialog 
autocompletion becomes inactive until tab is pressed once. The text field 
would then act like a normal input box However once the users hits tab once, 
then it goes back to the normal way of handling autocompletion.
